Leo Romero

Leo Romero has not slowed down one bit since being crowned Thrasher Magazine's Skater of the Year in 2010. After annihilating the 2012 King of the Road, traveling the world for three years straight, finding time to start a band (Cuates) and wrapping up another video part in Emerica's "MADE," it might be true that Romero doesn't sleep.

Krooks Pop Over

Romero krooked grinds and pops over a bump-to-rail in Birmingham, Ala. Though he slammed hard at this spot, he gritted his teeth and went for one last try -- nailing it perfectly.

Gap to Nose Grind

"Gapping out" means ollieing farther away from the rail, usually because there's a separate set of stairs to begin with. Here, Romero gaps out to frontside nose grind in Nashville.

Teammates

One of the best parts of working on a major skate video like "MADE" is scanning the country for new spots and skating with friends and teammates. Here, Collin Provost and Leo Romero warm up at a spot in Anywhere, USA.

Front Board

If there's one thing you can take away after watching Romero skate, it's how fast he approaches everything. Here he blazes through a frontside boardslide as fast as he can in Birmingham, Ala.
